Responsibilities
You'll work on shaping the technical direction for Android Search and AI features, making tradeoffs between performance and features, and contributing to decisions about what gets built next based on user impact
You'll play a key role in our AI mobile efforts, implementing features across two of our highest-impact user journeys—helping people find what they need and get things done on the go
This isn't about porting desktop features to mobile; it's about reimagining AI and Search for how people actually work from their phones, leveraging mobile-specific capabilities like notifications, location, and device sensors to build context-aware experiences that feel native
Mobile is a critical touchpoint for our users, and there's significant untapped potential to drive AI adoption on the platform
You'll collaborate with engineers equally passionate about mobile-first thinking while partnering closely with Product and Design
Software Engineers II at Slack are strong individual contributors who are accountable for their work and contribute to team success
Product engineers operate at any layer of the stack but prefer to work closer to what the user sees & interacts with
Candidates should have an eye for the polished Android design our users expect and an attention to detail down to the very last density independent pixel
They should know their way around the View hierarchy and be eager to partner with Product and Design to craft efficient, performant, and delightful user experiences
They'll like building for the long term and value patterns and structures that allow for maximum flexibility in a constantly evolving product
